BRAIIBLETYE HOUSE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Save the Lady in the. blue and yellow balcony !" exclaimed the King, with a loud yoke, 4 , Fifty gui neas to any one who saves her." A friend of mine objects to such a Royal Exchange vulgarism being put into the King's mouth, that it should require a proclamation of fifty guineas reward to rescue from the flames so lovely a woman ; consi dering also, that the King was at the time surrounded by all the youth and chivalry of his Court, who, it appears, accompanied into the city. But my business with you, Mr. Editor, is not to impugn the good taste of his Maiett Y ut to dispute the historical accuracy of Mr. Horace Smith ; for from an old legend now lying on my table, it appears that the reward offered rit by the King, was sixty-two pounds ten shillings, which is exactly a turn on fifty thousand Consols. I am,. Sir, your obedient Servant, July 24, 1826. Q. IN THE CORNER. STEAM PACKETS. THE COMET. The operations for raising this vessel having drawn near to a conclusion, much interest regarding it has been excited here, and numbers have been daily attracted to the spot, to witness the first appearance which the shat tered bark exhibited when raised above the water's sur face; among the earliest indications of its near approach was the discovering of the body of an elderly stout made female, on Monday evening, supposed to have been the last person on board ; notwithstanding the great length of time it had been in the water, the body was but little decayed. It was taken to Gourock church-yard, put into shell, and interred. On Wednesday afternoon a pair of bagpipes were fished up from the deck of the vessel, and it will be recollected that to the inspiring strains of this instrument some of the passengers were enjoying them selves in the dance not an hour before that dreadful col lision, which ushered them into eternity. On Wednesday some part of the wreck was got above water, and Thursday some further progress was made in bringing her close to the shore; this morning when the tide ebbed, part of the deck was above the surface ; but that portion of vessel which comprehends the main cabin, yet remains immersed. The bow of the vessel is coM pletely shattered, and the funnel thrown down and resting lengthways on the deck. A variety of articles haVe been fished up from the fore cabin this morning, including se veral pieces of silk 7 dresses, childrens' fioeks, shoes, thread cases, a small trunk, &c. &c. A man's hat, and a part of a jaw -bone, have been likewise brought up. The whole exhibits a very milancholy spectacle. It is expected, with the assistance of a tide or two more, the vessel will be hauled. altogether on the beach.—Greenock Advertiser. (From the Edinburgh Courant.) We have been politely favoured by the Lord Provost, with the following letter, re, rding the raising of this ill fated vessel, addressed to him, by Mr. Cleland, of Glas gow. It will be read with much interest:— My Loan, Glw.gow, July 20, 1826. " I beg to inform you, that I went down to Coliroch yesterday morning, to witness the raising of the Comet and knowing that a detail of what I saw • there would interest your Lordship, I now inform you, that the Comet, which went down in 16 fathoms water, is now in two fathoms ; and, from being in channel, is now not more than 60 yards from the shore. When I went on board one of the two lighters used for raising the vessel, I found Mr. Brown and his men much annoyed with waves from a heavy sea; he told me, that he was much afraid of losing that tide, but hoped 'that when the weather abated, in two tides thereafter, he would have the Comet ashore. In the same lighter, I found Mr.l Claud Marshall, the Sheriff Substitute of the West District of Renfrewshire, with two men, for the purpose of taking charge of what property or dead bodies might be found in the vessel. You will recollect, that the eiertions Of thii Gentleman were very great, and very properly appreciated, on the melancholy occasion of the Comet's going down. "The body of one woman only has yet been found, .with no other dress than corsets; •it is much mutilated. A large dog has come up, and is now floating near the shore. "Before I took to the small boat, the bow of the Comet was about five feet above the water; the funnel seemed to be lying at an angle of about 45 degrees from the deck. "Mr. Brown, who has been so successful in lifting the Comet, is a ship-carpenter at Perth; his skill and exeltious are very praiseworthy. At first, and while the Comet was in deep water, he moored the lighters close together, immediately over the wreck. —Having placed a strong chain-cable under her bow, and another under her stern, he laid an oak log, about 15 inches square, across the lighters. When the tide raised the lighters, the Comet, from having taken fast hold of the mud or sand at the bottom, was so difficult to draw up, that the oak log actually broke in two.— On this, Mr. Brown used two logs, one on the top of the other, and, at the height of the tide, brought the lighters and Comet nearer the shore, uy means of a strong windlass, which he bad erected on shore. When the Comet arrived at its present position, Mr. Brown placed the lighters at such a distance from each other as to allow the Comet to get up bet Ween them. It is melancholy to recollect, that at the first effort at the windlass, the Abater of one the lighters, a fine young num, lately married, was killed on the spot, by a too sudden revolution of the spokes. " Should the remains of any unfurtnnate passenger be still on board, it may be some consolation to their friends to kno w , th a t • _ . . this ill-fated vessel will very soon give up its contents. " While Mr. Wlnnes, the late Master of the Comet, was standing on the lighter opposite to me, the Ayr steam-boat paused, crowded with paavngers, on a pleasure excursion, to see the steam-packet United „Kingdom, before she trent round to your port. This circumstance, trivial in itself, could not but bring up recollections, alike melancholy and distressing.—l am, my Lord Provost, your Lordship's very faithful and obedient servant, " JAMES CLELAND." UNITED KINGDOM. The United Kingdom, without question, outstrips and surpasses any thing of the kind ever seen. in the extent of her dimensions, the power of her machinery, the -ele gance of her structure, and the splendour of h er ar range.. meats, she is without comparison, and will figure in the waters like a mighty leviathan , without a rival. This stupendous vessel measures on deck 175 feet long, by 4 feet 6 inches wide --her paddles are above 20 feet in diameter, and she has two engines of 100-horse power each; she is frigate built, and has a spar-deck above the main -deck, which has a large open area in the centre, sur rounded by iron balustrades. You descend to the main deck by a fli g h t o f ste ps on either side and find the bot tom of this comm odious area environed by a range of ele gent sl ee pi ng a p ar tments, containing ampl e room , and &c. and pe cu li ar l y every req uisite f or d re ssing, adapted for q summer travelling. From thi s i s , the entrance to the saloon, which is Si .tuated und er t h e merit, whose d azz li ng splendour rivals th e id eas w e are ' wont to for m o f t h e d o mes of eastern lu xury , i t i s sup ported on ea c h s id e b y Corinthian pillars o f hi g hl y polish miter-deck, and is a spac i ous apart ed satin-wood, and in the middle by a range of brass pil lars of the tiaine, or d er; it measures {0 feet long, and 36. broad. Ten beautiful mirrors, ranged on all sides, shed on the surrounding objects, like the dancing light of an i eternal sun-beam, their glittering and reflective rays.— Three ranges of tables, extending lengthways, afford suf ficient accommodation for 130 persons to dine at once. Handsome sofas and chairs, of a very fashionable pattern, while the most useful, are not the least ornamental part of the furniture of the saloon. The saloon is hung with crimson damask curtains; and besides the sky-light, it is lighted from the stern, and six other windows, three on each side; it has also win dows which look out on the main deck, making in all 16 in number. • Immediately below this apartment is a spacious sleep ing-room for gentlemen; it is curtained with blue damass, and fitted up with much taste. As before observed, the light is admitted by an oval aperture at the top; around the sides of which are ranged plate-glass reflectors, which give a thousand magic localities to surrounding objects : and what at present seems to excite the particular atten tion of visitors, is a large glass globe containing gold-eci loured fishes, resting on the plate-glass at the top, and vases of roses placed around its edge, which become re presented to the spectators below like a , miniature sea of transparent brightness, bespangled by a thousand little shining inhabitants, flitting through its waters, and which seem to flow through an endless paradise of flowers... 7 A flight of steps, guarded by , brass balustrades, at one end of the room, leads to the 'saloon, and at the other end an ascent of eight steps communicates with the main-deck. Prom the main-deck a flight of steps of easy descent conducts to the ladies' apartment, which is most superbly and tastefully arranged, and affords every convenience which luxury could invent, or the most luxurious require. It is curtained with crimson damask; and the chairs as well as the sofas which surround it, are covered with the same material. It is supported on each side by lonic pil lars, and is furnished with two large plate glass mirrors, rich Brussels carpets, &c. so that the whole apartment, from the elegance of its ornaments, and the richnesS of the gilding, its convenience and seclusion, seems more to resemble some fabled bower, pictured by the fairy fingers of romance, than the cabin of a steam-boat. And one thing more must be observed respecting it, namely, its being placed so near the centre of the vessel, that the motion at sea will be scarcely perceptible. There is also a fore sleeping cabin, comprising six apartments of different sizes, containing from 2 to 10 beds each, for the convenience of families; also a small steerage fitted up with 11 beds and bedding'nearly as good as the rest. The total number of beds in the vessel is 170. The kitchen also displays considerable ingenuity in the construction mid arrangement of its various conveniences, and we are informed it is to be placed under the direction of two French cooks. Surely, " the pride of luxury can no tiuther go." The builders are, Messrs. Robert Steele and Son, of this town; the engines are the work of David Napier, Esq. of Glasgow, whose ability and success in the con struction of steam machinery are well knOwn ; and the furniture and decorative parts of the interior have been finished by Mr. Cameron, cabinet-maker, of this place, from drawings by Mr. James Bannister, of Liverpool. In a few days, we understand, the United Kingdom will be ready for sea, when she will proceed round-the North of Scotland, under the command of Captain James Oman, late of the illqiestie. When we consider, for a moment, the vast difference between the vessel we have now described, and the little eockboat, coMparatively, which, under the name of the Comet, first revolved . its wheels adventurously on the Clyde, and VMS the parent of the numerous European family of steam-packets, we feel no small pride in wit nessing the rapid appp►voach to perfection, to which Bri tish capital and skill have conducted this invaluable im provement. -" As to the question of costs," as the lawyers would say, we are unable to answer it from authority ; but if the general opinion is to be trusted, the first movements of the paddle wheels of the United Kingdom will carry along with them a literally floating capital, of little short of 40,000L—Greenock Advertiser. THE SOLWAY. We have lately stated that the first arrival of this fine vessel at the mouth of the Carlisle Canal would be a gala day; and so it would have proved had not Thursday last been a day of incessant rain; nevertheless, the Solway's entrance will be long remembered by hundreds for other reasons than that the spectators engaged in a water ex cursion. The Solway sailed from Liverpool on Wednesday fore noon, with a strong breeze and heavy swell ; and, after a rather rough passage, for the season, during which the machinery, worked with complete effect, she reached 'Whitehaven at five o'clock on the following morning. By twelve o'clock a great number of persons, in de fiance of the wet, had collected on the shore, at the Canal entrance, near Bowness, twelve miles from Carlisle. About one o'clock, after much anxious looking south west-ward, a column of Smoke was descried by the most sharp-sighted; and in a few 'minutes the Solway herself. became apparent to all, coming up mid-cha n n e l in the finest possible style. In a short time the Solway rounded the excellent new jetty, at the mouth of the Canal, and then her large di mensions became apparent. She is a magnificent piece of naval architecture. Her length from stem to stern is 133 feet; length over all 140 feet. Breadth of beam 21i, feet; breadth over all 38 feet. Tonnage, per register, 190 tons ; actual tonnage 288.-* Draught of wenri, when hnlen,ahnut 9i feet. On,Thurs day she drew nine feet.—There is excellent stowage for goods; and abundant room for cattle, horses, B,:e. without at all interfering with the convenience of the passengers. She is fitted up in a superb style. Her two steam engines were made by Bolton and Watt. The principal cabin will accommodate about 40 persons, with great coin fort.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY. We regret to state that the condition of the manufac turers in our vicinity and throughout the kingdom be comes daily and daily more appalling. Even in the me trgis, where the strongest efforts have been made to 1000i)so/ress of calamity, the misery of the industri, ous operati47 l l4l' ed a height which is really horrible in its physical and moral e i,7lte:lo,llg, with his cha racteristic benevolence, has bestoWdatiother sum of 10001. . , upon the SpiteMelds' Weavers, and we doubt not, that si millir donations will be repeated in the country ; but with all our veneration for the kind motives of our excellent Mo han+, we cannot help asking where this scheme of patching up is to end—where the demoralizing effects of admini stering from charity what should he the demand upon in dustry are to terminate ? Far be it from us to discourage the gratuitous relief of suffering thousands, or to detract 6om the holiness -of human charity; but as public Jour nalists it becomes us again to raise the voice of warning, and again to urge our 'rulers to same more decided and rea sonable course of action. Months and months ago we said how things would turn out, and they have turned out as we predicted. We take no credit to ourselves for having so predieted,for the most ordinary mind, if gifted with com mon sense, could foresee the mischief which has occurred ; hut what we said then we repeat now, and without ventur ing to recommend any panacea of our own, we cannot help expressing's,' conviction that if Ministers would abandon the patching-up system, and proceed boldly to grapple with their difficulties, we might have a better chance of doing well under their Government. Their intentions are pure, and their discretion in the main is much to be com rilemled ; but why do they not, in an awful crisis like the present, openly appeal to the Legislature for advice and protection in the course advised; and as openly lay the axe to the root of the evil under which we all suffer.— That the evil is, in a very great degree, the rash and busty introduction of a Free Trade Systein, we do not he sitate to assert; many parts of that system may be good, and it would perhaps be wrong hastily to abolish whathus been hastily introduced, but there are means of revising the plan and remedying the evil, which require only to be un derstood and adopted to produce all the effect. which the most prudent as well as the most sanguine could anticipate. —Macclesfield Herald of Saturday. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, July 20.—Our Cotton market has been very flat this week, there having been ut few buyers, a heavy import, and a great desire to sell. Ls:ars, Jinx 22.—Last Saturday a deputation of six operative manufacturers waited upon the Earl of Hare wood- Lord : . Lieutenant of this Riding, to present the Memorial passed ut the Almondbury Meeting of the un employ'ed, and distressed inhabitants. of that district, held on the Monday preceding. The reception given by his• Lordship to the. Deputation was extremely kind and condescending. After listening to their accounts of the distress of the body they were appointed to re present,• he entered at large into his views of the cause of the present distressed and unhappy situation of the ma nufacturing part of the country. That cause he appre hended to be overtrading, arising out of a speculative spirit, as well in manufacturers as others. 'this spirit was cherished, Its he conceived, by the facility of raising and of creating paper money, which gave to pet sons without capital, or with lint very little capital, an op portunity of carrying On trade to a great extent, and which frequently rendered trade, from the manner in which it was carried on, unprofitable both to. them and to others who had to compete, with them in the markets. As to the re medy, he saw no other than time and patience. The stocks lately nit hand would be greatly exhausted, owing to the quantity of goods now manufactured, and, us they were sold of, and the markets cleared, a natural demand would arise, and business would in time once more ilow in its proper channel. In the mean time his Lord ship said, the distressed must apply for the paro chial funds, and to the funds raised for the distressed , manufacturers, for assistance ; and he hoped they would be found adequate to an economical supply of their wants, together with such labour - as might be found for them. Above all things lie recommended subordination, and said that any attempt to destroy property, and particularly ma chinery, would not only fail to alleviate the distresses, but would end in the ruin of those whom such acts went meant to serve. The harvest has already commenced in this neighbour hood, and several fields of oats are now in the hands of the reapers. At Halifax, Elland, Batley, and in.many other parts of the, county, the harvest has also commenced„ Owing to the great increase of the Methodists i n thistown and neighbourhood, it is, we understand, proposed, at the approaching Conference, which commences next Wednesday, in Liverpool, to divide the Leeds Circuit iuto two, 'under distinct superintendents.

Glasgow never was near so dull as has been during this week.,-Glasgow Free Press. CAPLISLE.---4Vitil feelings of grief we announce that the operative manufacturers in our vicinity are again placed in a situation of the tilost heart-rending distress.---Carlisle Journal. More troops have been ordered into the Northern Diri. triet, from the West of England. We hear that a very unusual number of petty depreda tions have becit .qamnitted during the last ten days, suet% as the robbery of hen -roosts, pouttoe-fioldq, fildt-gardens, &c. ; a great deal of which, we believe, is attributable to tbe pinching necessity under which a considerable portion of the operative manufactums at present labour. At the request of the Committee appointed to ma nage the subscription lately raised for the relief of the local unemployed poor, the Mayor has appointed Mon day next for another meeting at the Town Hall, in order that the inhabitants may devise means of rendering fur ther assistance. The sum lately raised amounted to about. DOW., exclusive of one hundred pounds voted in aid by the London Committee; but large as this amount is, it is now nearly exhausted, while the num ber of applicants for relief is rather increased than diminished. We have no doubt, therefore, that our fellow citizens will again liberally come forward, to they have always done, in the cause of charity—yet not the cause of charity alone, but in some degretl in their own causes the means of susteria s i u tr sc i ri a l t4s i t o b n e ti f l o: l ll 4l , i n j i a ld ri. 4 , s oatl i t l: ci : au t s r r te lr w r t , oee raised by voluntary to the intended meeting what haq beet► crone, ns will r►as ; t t‘ P lama , at Committee will doubtless report progres4, ought to do; .an 4 they have only ensure t:lte hearty support of tin liis Barley and Oats have been cut in ~.t~r.~tc~ l~l;rre and early next wet-4i, several persons armlet:o: a greater abundance of sal- The fislunong. , ls tell been already taken this sea ma", g d st ''' -t1 " 4 1 1 ) SeUSOR for the last fourteen son, than miring plentiful in our market, almost Y" rB ' 41°°41 *d r Cartide Patriot. tkily Ctis P"
